Hi,
after lots of searchs I've decided to post this problem - a virtual machine that powered on happily last time I used it, cannot start now, but in a quite confusing way:
- the error reported is just "internal error", a second after trying to power it up.
- It works fine with the player.
- I cloned it (independent clone) and the clone works just nice
- I recovered the full VM from a backup, and same problem
- other VMs are working just fine
Other data: host is windows 7 64, guest is also windows 7 64.
The only "funny" things I can see in the logs is in vmware-ui-xxxx.log, a few confusing lines here (note the contradictory messages and the pipe error):

Any ideas? Main problem is quite a few useful snapshots there.
Thanks in advance,
